Moles, i.e., melanocytic nevi, are benign lesions that can appear on the skin as well as on mucous membranes. These are benign pigmented formations, clearly defined, usually round, and can appear on any part of the body. <\/p>

Everyone has moles, although some are rarely present from birth (congenital nevi). Most moles develop during adolescence, and the majority appear by the age of 20. <\/p>

Moles are not a cause for concern by themselves, but in certain situations and in certain individuals (mainly due to genetic predisposition and excessive sun exposure), they can undergo malignant transformation and turn into melanoma. Therefore, any change in a mole in terms of color, size, or shape is a sign that the mole needs to be surgically removed and sent for pathological (PH) analysis. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
